This cactus blossom is a delightful way to interpret the unique night-blooming flower of the saguaro cactus! Packed with geometric stitches and layered with beads, this design can be made into a frame weight that will bring a smile to your face as you stitch on future projects. It can also be featured in a round pillow. The one plain petal can be used for your monogram, as a pincushion, or as a showcase for a special pin. Students will select from a variety of diamond-shaped and linear patterns to fill the petals. The flower center features highly textured stitches and threads, beaded stamens, and needleweaving. Kit cost does not include the fabric or thread used in finishing the design into the cactus shape.
